  • connection openings are preferably designed such that upon insertion or insertion of the ice making unit 10, an automatic connection of the connection openings of the adaptation plate with the corresponding openings and / or contacts of the ice making unit takes place.
  • reference numerals 203 represent an exhaust port, 204 an intake port, and 205 an opening for contacting the ice making unit 10.
  • the adapter plate may thus have one or more integrated ports for ventilation ducts (possibly with louvers) and / or one or more electrical or air ducts have electronic interfaces for the electrical or electronic supply with communication with the ice making unit 10.
  • one or more sealing surfaces or seals for tight connection of the ice making unit 10 to the adapter plate 202 may be arranged on the ice making unit and / or on the adapter plate. It is also conceivable that one or more seals are arranged on the ice making unit and one or more seals on the adapter plate.
  • FIG. 19 shows the arrangement according to FIG. 18 from the foam side and FIG. 20 shows the ice making unit in the inserted state.
  • FIG. 21 shows a sectional view through the ice-making unit 10 and through the device with the adaptation plate before the ice-making unit 10 is completely arranged in the end position.
  • the ice making unit 10 is first inserted into the device. In the position shown in Fig. 21, there is still a clearance (e.g., 7 mm) between the ice making unit 10 and the adapter plate 202.
  • seals IB and D2 are located on both sides of the ice-making unit 10, with which it adjoins the adaptation plate 202.
  • one or both seals D1, D2 are formed as circumferential seals.
  • the ice-making unit 10 abuts against the surface 202 'that is inclined relative to the direction of insertion.
  • the plane of the slope 202 ' extends relative to the insertion direction, for example at an angle of 30 °. If the ice-making unit 10 is pushed further forward with its front side, ie moved to the left according to FIG. 21, this movement is superimposed on the side wall, ie, according to FIG. 21, by a movement of the ice-making unit 10 due to the slope 202 ' .
  • FIG. 22 shows the electronics board 251 of the ice-making unit 10, which has contacts 252 which are in contact with the contacts 253 of the adapter plate 202, which extend through the opening 205.
  • the contacts 253 of the adaptation plate are movably arranged in this lateral direction, as indicated by the double-headed arrow in FIG.
